Hello Steve and other TB! listers following this thread, On Friday, July 18, 2003 at exactly 7:47:45 AM, Steve wrote about Trouble managing threads and said the following: SMS I don't want to delete the entire folder, just all the messages in it. SMS If I mark all messages as read, can I then somehow delete them? I SMS tried ctrl-del from within the folder message list, but nothing SMS seemed to happen. It doesn't matter if the messages are marked as read or not. All you have to do is select them and hit delete. You may get a menu asking you to confirm the deletion and it may take a while for them to disappear if you're deleting a lot of messages /or youg computer is slow, but they SHOULD delete, which puts them in the Trash folder (there's a way to wipe them directly but I don't recall the command for it) so you'll have to do it again from there (the Trash folder). You can also right click on the selected messages and select delete from the pop-up menu. If it doesn't respond, do it again - until it does what you're telling it to do. After you do this, it's a good idea to compress your folders, because otherwise the deleted messages are still taking up space in your message data base. -- Douglas Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Steve, Friday, July 18, 2003, Steve Sawczyn wrote: I don't want to delete the entire folder, just all the messages in it. You have received several replies. I just thought I'd add a little. When you first open TB and select a folder the threads are compressed. So if you go into the message list pane and select all (Ctrl+A) it may look like you have selected all the message because they are highlighted, however you have only selected the message that are visible because most people thread by reference. On the menu see View | View threads by. So go to the message list pane and first select no threading (Alt+0) which will make all messages visible, the select all (Ctrl+A) and hit delete. Now technically you haven't actually deleted the messages because they are still in your trash folder until you compress. You can select to compress all folders on exit within an account or on an individual folder basis, or the folders manually. Depending upon the speed of your PC and the size of your message base may determine when you do the compress. I compress all accounts on exit which is set in the account properties (Shift+Cntl+P) under options. If I mark all messages as read, can I then somehow delete them? You can delete read or unread messages. I tried ctrl-del from within the folder message list, but nothing seemed to happen. See above. -- Best regards, Greg Strong TB! v1.63 Beta/11 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Trouble managing threads
Hello everyone, Again I come asking for help -- this time with thread management. I have messages grouped by thread/references standard. I'm not sure how to go about deleting an entire thread -- if the thread is closed and I hit delete on the first message, I am moved to the second message in the thread, or at least that's what it seems is going on. Is there an easy, one-key stroke way to delete a thread, or the rest of a thread? Another problem I'm having has to do with wanting to delete all messages in a folder. I have a few mailing lists which I'm way behind on. In an effort to get caught up, my thought is to just delete all messages and start from scratch. I went to that folder, hit ctrl-a to select all, then hit delete and nothing happened. I then tried hitting shft/end thinking that this would select the entire message list. Hitting delete there didn't seem to do anything either. Lastly, and this is a bit off-topic, I've been in contact with the developers of my screen reading software and they gave me some information on ways the Bat could be made more accessible to blind folks. I'd like to pass this info along, but am not sure where to send it. If anyone has any technical contact at RITlabs who might find this information useful, I'd be glad to send it along. Again, thanks for all help. -- Best regards, Steve mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The answers to your first two questions are in the right click context menus. thread/references standard.
